ADC 2 Round 1 Scoring Complete

A little bit earlier as expected, round 1 of ADC2 has ended and we are waiting for the second round to start. The release of 1.6 might have something to do with the early ending. Some developers reported that the application they developed are broken for the new version and they feel a bit disappointed for not being able to fix that.

The official rules also state very clearly that there will be no option to send an upgrade for your application even for round 2. Actually I think that the voting turned out to be a very strange process. The post on the android developer blog made it clear to me, that applications where presented for voting until they had 100 votes and then disappeared. This explains for me why I have seen only very few interesting applications. All cool applications had 100 votes early in the voting process, thats just the way it works...

Meanwhile, I was able to increase the performance of Fish! a lot and me and my brother are working on an improved version. Also the feedback from the first release was great, I am already sure you will like the new version more *g*.

We also understand that creating a home background out of it would be great, unfortunately there is no API that does support that in a smooth way. If we find a way to do that, we will for sure release a version with that option.
